a double blessing...

So, I had to stop in to share some VERY exciting news....

My sister and brother-in-law have been OFFICIALLY APPROVED by their adoption agency to adopt from Ethiopia. Now, I realize that this sounds like a first-step in the process, but it is actually something that comes further down the line. Like after paperwork, and letters of reference, and fingerprinting and a home-steady and LOTS. OF. WAITING. But it's official. Someone decided that they can be parents.

And here's the even better news -- they are adopting SIBLINGS! Two! They were approved to adopt two under the age of four, but requested two under the age of three. So we'll see. This is a decision that took them some time to make, but what they felt would be best for everyone involved. And I wholeheartedly agree.

So, keep you eyes open in the next week for a special celebration in the Etsy shop in the form of "twos" (and in lieu of cupcakes). Yay!
